What Is This?

Let's make this one a bit different. Take a photo of something unusual, or something usual in an unusual way, but take care to present your object clearly! Then go see what the other Entrants' images might be, and write your guess in the Comment field below their image. At the end of Voting phase, each Entrant should explain their image, and we'll see who managed to guess correctly what their image shows. More about it - in the Rules!

Leave your guess as to what other Entrants' objects might be in the Comment field under their entries. Don't "guess" under your own Entry! ;)

AFTER THE VOTING PHASE, all Entrants should explain their images in the Comment field, and congratulate those which have guessed right.

Sandbagging, vote soliciting or any other improper voting attempt puts the perpetrator on the Blacklist.

Entrants / Voters blacklisted and/or caught cheating in ANY DPR Challenge are NOT WELCOME in my Challenges, and will be removed on sight.

the entry may receive a ban from the challenge or series in question.
